摘要:
A solid state drive may include one or more memory cell arrays divided into a plurality of blocks. A first portion of the blocks may be designated for storing user data and a second portion of the blocks may be designated as reserved blocks for replacing defective blocks in the first portion. In one embodiment, the method includes reformatting, by a memory controller, the solid state drive to convert one or more blocks in the first portion into reserved blocks.

In one embodiment, the method includes storing, by a status checking module, status information for a solid state drive, and determining a status state of the solid state drive based on the status information. The status state is one of a good state, an intermediate state and a bad state, and the intermediate state is a state between the good state and the bad state.

摘要:
A method of storing data in a storage media includes compressing raw data based on a physical storage unit of the storage media and storing the compressed data in the storage media. The physical storage unit of the storage media storing the compressed data includes an update region into which update data may be written.
摘要:
A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory device including a memory cell array, where the memory cell array includes a first region and a second region, and a memory controller configured to judge whether a size of data externally provided according to a write request exceeds a reference size, and to control the non-volatile memory device according to a judgment result. When the externally provided data exceeds the reference size, the memory controller controls the non-volatile memory device such that a portion of the externally provided data is stored in the second region via a main program operation and such that a remainder of the externally provided data is stored in the first region via a buffer program operation.
摘要:
Memory modules and authorization systems include a nonvolatile memory, an authentication engine configured to receive an initialization request from a user system, configured to generate a certification value based on device identifiers of devices includes in the user system in response to the initialization request and configured to control access to the nonvolatile memory based on the certification value, and a certification value storage configured to store the certification value.
